Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Another semi-sub

That is very neat.  Submarine history is always good.  Helps very much to know where we came from.

In the 1950s, the CIA had its own semi-submersible. It couldn't travel very far and needed to be hauled around by a larger mother vessel, but its relatively small size allowed the spy sub to operate undetected in areas that would have proved impossible for larger ships.
